"Brother Tai is also going to Decameron City, right?"

Outside Mochizuki Castle, on a treasure cart heading to Decachia City, there were more than a dozen extraordinary figures. They didn't seem to know each other well, so the car was very quiet, and a young scribe who looked to be in his twenties sat for a while, and couldn't help but whisper a pleasant greeting to the middle-aged scribe next to him.

Although his greeting was not loud, the space in the treasure car was not large, and everyone here seemed to be cultivated, so almost everyone heard it.

"This little brother is also interesting, out of Mochizuki City is Yuezhou, the one sitting in this car counts as one, is there anyone who doesn't go to Ten Days City?" A big man who looked like a martial artist sneered, causing the young scribe to blush for a while.

These words opened everyone's chatterbox, and an old man who looked like an old beggar sighed: "Now everyone calls this side Jinyue Prefecture, just two months ago, I'm afraid no one would have thought that the dangerous Ten Days City would have the current atmosphere." ”

It has been two months since the Ninth Route Coalition encircled and suppressed the Ten Days City.

The news of that battle had already spread throughout Great Xia, and even Beihu, Baiwu, and Lingyuan were widely circulated, which could be called the most unexpected battle in several years.

Obviously, at the beginning, the princes of the Nine Routes joined the alliance, and later more than a dozen princes near Yuezhou joined one after another, and the number of coalition troops who arrived at the city of the Ten Days was nearly 300,000, which was the largest number of troops since the beginning of the battle for the prince. At that time, when I heard that Decorona not only did not gather all its forces to defend it, but sent 70,000 troops to attack and harass the rear of the coalition army, leaving only the commander and a number of major generals plus 30,000 troops to defend Decakaitz Castle. In anyone's eyes, this is a self-defeating act of arrogance, and the city of the Decameron will surely be defeated.

However, no one expected that the coalition forces had attacked the city of Ten Days, and a strong man of the Overlord Realm was suddenly killed in the virtual realm, which turned the tide and completely changed the outcome of the outcome.

At the end of the First World War, the commander Mu Hong hung his seal, the princes' coalition army collapsed, and thirteen of the nineteen princes who participated in the battle lost their qualifications to participate in the prince's battle on the spot. And their coalition forces, except for the 30,000 soldiers who died in battle, surrendered one after another, making the Ten Days City a big fat man who attracted the attention of the world in one go.

Coupled with the original 100,000 army, nearly 300,000 troops were incorporated this time, which is a total of 400,000 troops, and they are all veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time, which directly attracted the attention of all the forces involved in the battle for the crown prince.

After only a few days of rest, the reorganized Ten Days City army was divided into four routes, and at the same time attacked the entire Yuezhou.

The four-way army, each with nearly 100,000 troops, is a decisive force even in Fengzhou or Dezhou, where the competition is fiercest, let alone in Yuezhou.

This was like a torrent of four bursting embankments, which instantly disturbed the calm of the entire Yuezhou. Some of the royal family who originally had the idea of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight were also completely panicked now, and those royal families who were only going to drink a cup of soup before and invested some troops to join the coalition army were even more panicked.

After determining that the Ten Days City was not only to collect the military towns and remnants left behind after the defeat of the coalition army, but also to swallow the entire Yuezhou, the rest of the forces did not dare to hesitate and quickly formed an anti-gold alliance.

This time the Anti-Gold Alliance was different from the previous ones, and all the forces were deeply aware of how menacing the Ten-Day City army was, and if they did not cooperate sincerely, there would be no room for confrontation at all. In the face of the might of the Decameron City, they are all on the verge of life and death, and only by giving up all their remaining thoughts and uniting wholeheartedly to fight against the Decameron City army can they have any hope of surviving this catastrophe.

Therefore, the anti-gold alliance composed of eighty-two large and small forces actually showed an eye-catching combat power, coupled with the huge cost of inviting the strong soldiers to take charge of the overall situation, the army of the city of the city has fought back and forth in the past two months, and it has not been defeated like a mountain as the world thought at the beginning.

Although from the perspective of the overall situation of the entire Yuezhou, the scattered anti-gold alliance forces are fighting and retreating, and they are generally at a disadvantage, but in the short term, after all, it can be regarded as temporarily holding on.

It's just that anyone can see that if the two sides don't encounter any major changes, it will only be a matter of time before the anti-gold alliance loses. And the Ten Days City, from a weak force that no one was optimistic about at the beginning, has become a top-ranked behemoth in the battle for the crown prince, and even has a chance of winning the heir, and this chance of winning has become bigger and bigger as time goes by.

From an unpopular that may be destroyed at any time to a big dark horse that has attracted worldwide attention, the gorgeous turn of Decameron City is really amazing. The huge change in status is directly reflected in the bright side, and the literati who came to Mao Sui to recommend themselves in the past two months can be described as an endless stream, and they are already the favorites to win the championship.

"I heard that it was okay at the beginning, but the expansion of Decameron City is too fast, and there is a need for available manpower everywhere, but most of those who have some real skills can be entrusted with important tasks. But we arrived after two months, and the good positions were all occupied by those who rushed to the front, and no matter how talented we are, I am afraid we will not be able to stand out as well as before. A woman dressed as a scribe in the car sighed wistfully.

"The place where I lived in seclusion before was very far away from the old three states, and it took more than a year from hearing that the battle between the prince was open to rushing to the nearest place, and then I was busy running around, looking for the royal family with the appearance of Jackie Chan It took more than half a year, and when I heard about the battle of the Ten Days City, I was busy rushing to it, and it was now. A warrior with a sad face next to him listened to the woman's words and felt empathy, "Time is not waiting for me, what can I do?"

These words immediately attracted the approval of the other people in the car, sighed for a long time, and poured out their worries about the future.

Among them, there are still people who are still calm, there is a middle-aged scribe who has been closing his eyes and recuperating slightly, looking at the other three confident characters in the car, his mind turned slightly, as if he had an understanding.

"Sure enough, there are guys with the same intentions as me, and judging by the temperament of these three people, I'm afraid they are all fierce rivals. ”

He was secretly looking at the three of them, and the other three were also secretly examining him, as if they had not spoken, and they were already silent.

Faintly, there is a gap between the four of them and the rest of the chatter, even if they are in the same room, it is like being in two different worlds, and there is not much conversation on both sides.

It was lively and lively all the way, and it was on guard, but for most of the day, the treasure car finally drove into a male city, and then stopped in front of an inn.

"Ladies and gentlemen. ”

The middle-aged scribe who didn't speak much before, after the coachman said goodbye and left, said to everyone very reservedly: "Meeting is fate, let's go together, but here we have to say goodbye, I wish you all the best here, and meet again in the city in the future." ”

After talking about the scene, everyone exchanged a few words of greeting, and watched him Shi Shiran leave, and several people who knew each other on the road inevitably whispered.

"This seems to have a way early, otherwise it is a great ability, but it's a pity that the road is clumsy, otherwise it will be good to make friends with one or two, and you can have a backer early in the city. ”

"If there is a way, how can you come to work at this time?" and some people sneered at all disbelief.

When the rest of the people thought about it, it seemed that this was indeed the case, and they were relieved, and they talked and laughed again, and while booking a room at the inn, they discussed where to find out the news later.

Talking behind his back, the middle-aged scribe naturally didn't know, he caught a glimpse of a few people in the car who were paying attention to it and really went out quietly, identified the direction and moved forward, his heart was more sure of his guess, his steps were a few steps faster, I don't know what to think, and gradually calmed down.

He seems to have an idea, and he is not confused when he walks forward, but he pays more attention to his surroundings on the way, as if he is looking very carefully.

The Ten Days City, which had just passed through the Great War, perhaps because it was the side that won the great victory, showed a hectic scene everywhere. The middle-aged scribe managed to squeeze through the chaotic crowd in the direction he wanted to go. Looking up at the street signs, he looked back at the crowded people and roads behind him at the corner of the alley, which was obviously much quieter, and shook his head meaningfully before moving on.

Coming to this secluded alley, the middle-aged scribe looked left and right from time to time, as if he was concentrating on looking for something, turned left and right and walked for a while, only then stopped in front of an inconspicuous house, looked up and saw the word "Gongsun" on the door plaque, simply dressed in a crown, and stepped lightly on the stone steps in front of the door.

There was no guard in front of the Gongsun Mansion, the gate was closed, and it looked like no one was allowed to enter, and only an old gatekeeper smoking a dry cigarette sat in the gatehouse, and he didn't raise his head and shouted abruptly: "Hey!

The middle-aged scribe didn't care, and waved towards the old porter with a warm smile, "In Xia Zuo Runqing, invited by Mr. Gongsun, I will come to visit as soon as I arrive today." ”

Hearing his words, the old porter looked stunned, and immediately raised his eyes to look at him carefully for a while, and his indifferent face suddenly subsided, as if ice water had melted, and it was replaced by a smiling face like a spring breeze. He didn't even accept the door post presented by Zuo Runqing, walked out of the door, pushed open the door, and smiled at Zuo Runqing: "If it's really Mr. Zuo, forgive the little old man for being clumsy, I didn't recognize you at first sight, hurry up and please, please." ”

Zuo Runqing was stunned for a moment, and smiled at the old porter, "Uncle is too polite, if Mr. Gongsun is not at home, you might as well wait for later, and it's not too late to visit another day." ”

"Ouch, Mr. Zuo, that can't, that can't!" The old porter hurriedly said: "Although the master is not here, but he has specially explained several times before going out this morning, Mr. Zuo should have arrived in the past two days, if he comes, he must be invited into the house to entertain him, and if he neglects it, he will break the legs of the little old man's son, Mr. Zuo don't make it difficult for the little old man, please come in!"

Listening to the words of the old porter, Zuo Runqing couldn't help it. He can naturally hear that the old porter is all funny, because Mr. Gongsun's family does not punish his subordinates harshly, and the reason why the old porter says this is nothing more than a means to keep guests. Understand is understand, but this is really not easy to retreat, so I have no choice but to raise my hand and say, "Then bother", which followed the old porter into the threshold.

"What's going on in the city these days?" Zuo Runqing asked casually while looking at the cold and elegant little mansion under the guidance of the old gatekeeper.

"Mr. Zuo is really discerning. The old porter praised it, and then complained: "I heard that as soon as Quzhi County left, my husband was sent to take over the affairs of the yamen, and he took over hastily. If it weren't for the fact that he was too busy to spare time, my husband would not have known that Mr. Zuo would have arrived in the next two days, and he would not have been able to spare time to greet Mr. Zuo. ”

Zuo Runqing frowned slightly when he heard this, and then stretched out, "Mr. Gongsun is talented, the matter of the county government is just a temporary predicament, and it will definitely be sorted out in a few days." ”

The old porter smiled bitterly: "Mr. Zuo's own family, I won't know where my husband's ambition is, this county government matter is sweet to others, and it is only annoying to him, otherwise he will not invite Mr. Zuo all the way." ”

Zuo Runqing's expression did not change, but his eyebrows seemed to be more and more relaxed, "Mr. Gongsun's grand invitation, I don't dare to push it down, I just hope that it can come in handy, so as not to waste Mr. Gongsun's hospitality." ”

The old porter's eyes flashed, and then he smiled and invited Zuo Runqing into the guest hall, "Mr. Zuo is really as humble as my husband said, wait for me to ask someone to send the news quickly, my husband may be so happy to hear the news that Mr. Zuo is coming." ”

invited Zuo Runqing to sit down in the guest seat, the old porter was busy greeting the two subordinates to serve tea, and the one who sent the news sent the news, and then turned his head to Zuo Runqing and said apologetically: "Mr. Zuo, look, there is only some coarse tea, snubbing Mr." Although my husband has been looking forward to him for a long time, there is indeed a mess on the Yamen side, and I may have to wait until the evening to come back. You sit first, the little old man will go to you to see what is wrong with the guest room, if you sit boring, you can walk around, my husband has explained before, there is no place to avoid Mr. Zuo in this house. My husband also said that Mr. Zuo is a good book, and the study room is at the end of the left side, so Mr. Zuo can do it himself. ”

These words made Zuo Runqing sit still, and hurriedly got up to speak, but the old porter apologized and turned his head to busily, leaving Zuo Runqing with only a wry smile.

After entering the Gongsun Mansion, Zuo Runqing sat down for a while, and finally couldn't help but go to the study.

And the owner of the Gongsun Mansion, Mr. Gongsun, was really busy until the sun set, and then hurried back surrounded by a group of officials and scribes. He didn't forget to continue to deal with official business while walking, and when he went to the door of his house to ask where Zuo Runqing was, he threw all his entourage in the house, and hurriedly dared to go to his study.

"I'm sorry, look at me, I'm so busy. Entering the study, Gongsun Ji looked at Zuo Runqing, who was reading quietly by the window, and smiled bitterly and apologized.

Zuo Runqing put down the book, poured him a cup of tea, and said with a light smile: "Sit down and drink a cup of tea first, and then talk slowly." ”

Gongsun Ji raised his eyebrows, and sure enough, he sat down and took a sip of tea slowly, closed his eyes for a moment and then opened his eyes, his mood had returned to tranquility, and then he smiled: "It's really strange, it's obviously the same tea, it can be heated out of your hands, and it has an unusual taste." ”

Zuo Runqing looked at this old friend fixedly, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, he has a foothold in the officialdom, and his speech has become more and more tactful." ”

Gongsun Ji said angrily: "I haven't seen you for a few years, and you've come here, so you can't accept your damaging supernatural powers?"
